But if you go to honda.ca and choose S2000, it says change it every 6,000km or three months (both normal and severe).
For me I just change it every six months. Truth is I never end up reaching the max kms before the max time. Regular oil is fine for me (never bought synthetic oil for any of my cars, and probably never will unless its required).

Honda has decided that due to most of the climate of Canada, that Canada is considered completely 'severe' condition driving. The owner's manual is written for a North American audience, if you look closely, you'll see a note in the owner's manual saying that all of Canada is considered severe.
Vancouver's weather is very unlike most the rest of Canada.
